This is an experiment

Recommended Posts

Earlier I made a post mentioning “alligators”. On another forum I mentioned Ruger Vaqueros. I just looked at my email and I had two emails from Amazon telling me “hear are done products you may be interested in”

One was a link to a “Alligator Warning” sign and the other was for a book on “Ruger Single Actions”

 

Here is the experiment:

Amazon women

Hip waders

Floral patterns

Ford Mustang 

Water filters

 

 

If any of these show up in Amazon emails it’s really going to creep me out...:unsure:

I once talked about needing Loc Tite for chair bolts on a quick phone call last spring...never looked up Loc Tite just told wife I was going to pick some up.  A few hours later I had an email from Amazon for it if I recall correctly.

They will. 

Watching T.V. last night I saw a commercial for "smart home" products. Doorbell that watches, appliances you talk to, computers that listen, etc. I told my wife that I NEVER want any of that stuff in my house. I told her that I can't believe that people are INVITING 1984 into their homes.

Stephen Hawking said this.

 

“The genie is out of the bottle. We need to move forward on artificial intelligence development but we also need to be mindful of its very real dangers. I fear that AI may replace humans altogether. If people design computer viruses, someone will design AI that replicates itself. This will be a new form of life that will outperform humans”

That’s because they know you’re on to them and on alert...

It’s more likely your using a free browser like Google Chrome or equivalent that does data mining on what you’re looking at.  How do you think Google is making all that money?

Duck Duck Go is a search engine. Chrome or Internet Explorer is the program that runs DDG. They can still datamine.

I have a friend whose last name is "Lay".  He Googled his name and left the list active on the desktop.  He had an embarrassing time explaining to his family why so much porn was showing up on the computer.

 

It might be a good idea to delete all the cookies once in awhile.  :ph34r:

Alexa is a Russian agent, listening to you through a Chinese-made device, in your home (likely made by undocumented builders, if built in the last twenty years).

Well, 24 hours later and nothing. Must have been a coincidence. I do have some humorously signs in my wish list on Amazon and I also have an S&W book on that same list so perhaps that caused the emails? I don’t know but it sure was odd.

Ah yes, but did you notice the three men in black trench coats,  on the corner, talking to their wrist?

I never get worried until Amazon women try to get a hold of me.

When that happens, I warn them that they have only two hours to stop it.

 

 

  ................. I must be more generous .........  I usually give them 3 weeks to stop it.:P

I started using the Brave browser and DDG and ads and emails related to browsing and searches went away. In fact most adds went away. Since I don't accept cookies some websites don't function as well but that's a cost I'm willing to pay.
